Resumo(s)
Relations between political units – levels of government – in a multilevel structure can be organized according to a range of institutions and processes. Intergovernmental relations suggest that
the different levels of government interact with their political actors, namely executives, parliaments,
or political parties. The research studies on this topic have concentrated attention on federal systems,
and unitarian systems have been neglected. Next to that it must be stressed, that to exercise the
competences of the decentralised levels there must be some sort of fiscal autonomy. Without fiscal
autonomy, there can be no autonomy for subnational level of governments. Portugal illuminates this
landscape. The intergovernmental relation or coordination between the Portugal mainland and the
regional governments (Azores and Madeira) are mainly informal, so far. In this paper, we intend to
explore and understand the role of political actors in such intergovernmental coordination and the
institutional mechanisms they promote to that coordination.
